Iranian Jews have over two millennia of rich cultural and social history. This class will explore their political and literary activism in the twentieth century, focussing on a few key moments between the rise of Zionism in Iran and the 1978-9 Islamic Revolution.

Taught by Daniel Amir, a Junior Research Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University. Amir holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Iranian History from the University of Oxford.
